25? 25?  Geez, I can't believe I've blogged 25 resource room posts already--time flies.  Literally.  

This week I decided to post a photographer's resource (or any business owners resource).  Actually, you could call this a "life" resource because in some way, shape or form, no matter what your career you can use this in your everyday life!

Y'all know how much I love the Sage Wedding Pros blog.  I remember finding their blog sometime early last year and just fell in love with it--accounting, organization...all the nitty, gritty back end business detail stuff--I just love it!  (I know, I know...I'm such a nerd).  

Earlier this week they created  a post called "The Monthly Review."  This is probably one of my favorite posts so far because I am so super goal oriented yet sometimes feel overwhelmed by keeping up with everything that should be completed for my business.  And when I take a glance at all the personal things that I need to do, it almost knocks the wind out of me!  

The Monthly Review post reminded me of a few personal resolutions/goals that I made at the beginning of this year and it prompted me to see how I'm measuring up so far.  I'm a huge bookworm and I have this burgeoning list of books that I've kept on my desk for the past two years of books that I want to read.  After two years of not getting to the list I realized that it's not that I don't want to read these books, it's that I get sidetracked...by yet another book!  So this year I composed my gigantic list (I'm almost embarrassed to share how many books are on this list) and my goal is to read all of them this year...and I can go out of order which will hopefully fulfill my typical satisfaction of not reading what's in front of me.  Sooo, I have 222 books on this list!  That comes out to just over 4 books a week--ridiculous right?  But not all the books are super long, some are fun books, some are serious, some are business related and many are biographies/auto biographies.  After reading the monthly review, I was reminded to check my success so far--almost on track!  I should have read about 38 books thus far and I'm reading number 35 currently...Yay!  If anyone wants to see what's on my list, let me know  :)

I liken business planning to wedding planning because if you've ever planned a wedding you know that you only have so many months to book several vendors and make hundreds of important decisions--each decision feels like it's the most important-therefore sometimes it's hard to prioritize (which is definitely my problem!).  So that's why I loved this post so much---be sure to read it and you can view the post HERE.

This weeks edition of The Resource Room features Every Last Detail....a super cute wedding planning/detail blog that helps brides plan their weddings down to (yup, you guessed it!) every last detail!

What I really love about this blog and what makes it different is that Every Last Detail blogs from wedding vendors/event professionals perspectives on the details as well as the brides perspective...such a great way to find a culmination of so many wonderful opinions and details.

I had fun scouring this gorgeous blog so be sure to pop on over and check it out!

Happy Thursday everyone-it's time for this weeks Resource Room roundup.  

Today I am blogging about One Wed.  It's a super cute site with not only wedding day/planning inspiration but also tips on handling stress-which is something every bride goes through at some point and time in her planning!!  One Wed also has a listing of local vendors and honeymoon ideas.

Click HERE to check out One Wed's blog!

Lately I've been sharing some blogs for my weekly resource room posts that aren't exactly wedding related---but then I stopped to think about it and they are.  When you're planning your wedding, it's all you can think about.  No matter how many things you are juggling at that point in time, wedding planning will more than likely come out on top because it's super important and the feeling is justified because it's the one day that starts the rest of your life.

I'm sharing the Positivity blog today--I don't even remember how I found this--probably through Twitter!  But I've enjoyed reading some of the affirmations on this blog...

Enjoy!

Happy Thursday!  This week I'm actually not sharing a 100% bridal-related website for the resource room...actually, it's not bridal-related at all, but if you haven't heard of the Pioneer Woman, it's a great little website/blog to check out.  I've had the Pioneer Woman bookmarked for quite some time now and I wanted to share it because I love her recipes and she has great photography tips for beginners and I love all her little "finds" that she shares...so if you haven't heard of it, head over to the Pioneer Woman!
